         CAPTAIN AND BOAT BURNED
         
         Captain Burned to a Crisp
         
         Fishing Tug Marguerita is Lost;
           Moored to Dock at Grindstone City
           
         The fishing tug Marguerita, of Grindstone
       City, burned at her dock early Monday morn-
       ing. NATHAN WOOD, owner of the boat, burned
       with it.
         The life saving crew of Pointe Aux Barques
       made the discovery. They noticed the wall of
       smoke and investigated, but only the charred
       bones of the fisherman were found in the hulk,
       which had burned to the water's edge. It is
       not known how the fire started.
         The unfortunate man was seen to enter the
       doomed craft Sunday night. He was sleeping
       on board his boat because his family are
       quarantined with scarlet fever. A widow and
       several small children survive.
         The Marguerita was a new boat, measuring
       60 feet over all and valued at $4,000. WOOD
       had planned to make a trip to his nets Mon-
       day morning.
